Created by the Ethereum Foundation Mist team, Fabian Vogelsteller and Alex Van de Sande, to test the standard token.

Description
Shortly after Ethereum’s 2015 launch, the Mist team deployed MistCoin as a prototype token to validate a common interface and behavior for transferable tokens. The contract was deployed Nov 3, 2015, and within weeks the ERC‑20 standard was proposed (Nov 19, 2015), turning the prototype into a historical reference point for token standardization on Ethereum. A wrapper contract was later deployed in July 2022 to enable modern ERC‑20 trading behavior while preserving the original 2015 contract.

Deployed on Nov 3, 2015 by Ethereum developers Fabian Vogelsteller and Alex Van de Sande, MistCoin was created to test standardized token creation in the early days of Ethereum. It has a fixed supply of 1,000,000 and is closely associated with the work that led to the ERC‑20 proposal 16 days later. In 2022, a wrapper contract (WMC) was introduced to add modern ERC‑20 functionality for trading.
